Verdict
The Nissan X-Trail 2.0 2WD costs RM133,888, while the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 2WD Mid is RM151,888, so the gap is RM18,000. For that, the Mid’s clear gain is safety coverage: six airbags instead of four. Mechanically, they are locked together, with a 1,997 cc petrol engine, 142 hp, 200 Nm, CVT automatic and front-wheel drive. Space and running costs are also the same, from seven seats and 550 litres of boot space to 7.5 L/100 km and RM439 road tax. Buy the Mid only if the extra airbags matter to you.
Pick the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 2WD if you want the same engine, cabin size, fuel economy and warranty while saving RM18,000.
Pick the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 2WD Mid if you want six airbags instead of four and accept that the mechanical package is unchanged.
